tains an account of the purchase of build
ing site on Ninth street in that city, for
which was paid 1878, 600 cash. For a part
of this purchase as high as 50, $50 was paid
per front foot, and SO. $50 per front foot
was offered for another piece which the
parties desired to obtain, but the owner de-
clined to sell at that figure. Here in st. Paul
men boast of getting $1,000 per front foot
on two of the best business streets of the
city. Mr.. Booth, agent Of the New " DIRK
Life Insurance company, bought building
site in Omaha. He then came to st. Paul
and contracted for the southwest corner
OF Minnesota and Sixth street, 100 feet
square. for S67, ZOO. After the transaction
was closed by contract he expressed his sat-
isfaction and stated that he secured the site
in st. Paul for so per cent. less than he
paid in Omaha. These two instances DEM
onstrate how extremely low good business
property is in st. Paul as compared with
similar property in Omaha and Kansas
City. 1t is becoming known to men of
capital all over the country that business
property in st. Paul is cheaper i'll proper
ton to the size, business prospects, etc., or
this city. than it is in any other American
city OF any considerable prominence. The
| result is that here is likely to be very
before they are put up to their fair value In
proportion to prices asked and obtained in
other cities. The preparation for the foun-
dation OF the great railroad building to be
erected on the corner of Third and Broad
way, the completion and accept
ance Of Andrew Schock's fine structure
on Seventh and Broadway, the con-
contemplated building of several new bust
ness blocks on the latter street. and the
prospects that bridge will span the river
at BrOadW ay, across to State street. is hay
ing its effect on property all along Broad
way. Some agitation is noticeable in ref
erence to bridge across the railroad
| tracks on East Sixth street to Dayton's
| bluff in the near future. Whenever the
work for the East Seventh street cable line
begins it will almost wholly obstruct thai
street for from eight to twelve months. ano
the people who now cross the fill are devils
ing some plan to avoid that inconvenience,
and it has already been suggested that {
bridge be built connecting East Sixth stree
with the bluff next summer, and then, Wher
the cable line work begins in 1888. Sixtl
street could be used. 1t is also urged tina
a street which has no cable or street ca
tracks on it is desirable anyway. All wht
drive either on wheels or runners, know
what nuisance these tracks are. st. Pete
street is always used In preference to Wa
basha, Eighth and Sixth in preference t.
Seventh, and if East Sixth was bridget
across the tracks to Dayton's bluff, /
would take much of the travel that now

Miscellaneous,

One of the most significant transfers
of the week was that of the lot on the north
west corner of st. Peter and Ninth streets.
This lot is 60X100 feet, and was sold
by Wright s. Handy to C. E. Dickerman for
S24, 900. Many times during the past year
attention has been called TO the fact that St.
Peter street was rapidly coming to be one of
the best business thOroughfareS in st. Paul.
Property on that street has been continually
advancing in value with certainty that
leaves no question whatever as TO its future
Importance in the business of the city. The
property on this street is commanding the
attention of the shrewdest operators in real
estate, and many of them are looking for
good bargains there. Mr.. Dickerman will
probably erect upon this lot in the spring q
magnificent business block.
Among the sales made during the past week
by the Davidson company the following arc
conspicuous: Twepty-three lots in Sylvan
Park; the southeast corner of Sixth and
Cedar streets, 100XI00 feet; the southeast
corner of Robert and Fifth streets, 100X10O
feet; the west half of lot 10, block 19, St
Paul proper, and the southwest corner oil
Sixth and Minnesota streets.
